The last wheel brush youll ever buy!

Hey guys, I just got in my Ace powerstick today and tried it out with awesome results. Works with any cordless drill. Works extremely well at keeping the insides of the wheels clean as well as the face of the wheel. Just dip in the solution and clean the wheel. I usually use about 3 brushes for the face, inside, and lug nuts but this gets all of it. Not to mention my boars hair brush was starting to leave its hair on the wheel. Costs about 40 bucks but its well worth it. Very durable and sturdy.

I didnt get any before/after pictures of the wheels since they were fairly clean to begin with. Ill post up some pictures of the next car I detail with this brush. Hopefully itll be a fit

Some random pictures of the crazy beading of Meguiars #21 after the wash.

Missed a spot.... Notice the dookie on the sideskirt in the wheel well?
I did.

I dont use wheel brushes. And soap and water on my wheels only.
The only wheels Ive used chemicals on were my Enkei RC-S's. Only because they didnt have any kind of clear or coating. Just raw metal. They never got dirty either, but once a month Id use a wheel cleaner to make sure they were "clean."

Yeah that one spot you see is tar. I was running low on my tar remover and needed it for my next detail.

I also only use soap and water when cleaning my wheels but you need to agitate it to some degree to remove dirt. You can use a mild wheel cleaner that won't harm the coating on the wheels or just put some wheel sealant on them and you'll be able to get rid of them with just plain soap and a microfiber towel to remove the dirt and dust.

Of course this isn't a necessary product but just trying to throw some options out there for people looking for something like this.
